Eileen Brady's mayoral campaign today released a video of opponent Charlie Hales at various campaign forums in recent weeks repeating the statement that he once helped save four weeks of school in Portland (copied below).

Hales told PolitiFact that he "merged in my mind the whole series of
times when I voted in office to help schools with another later time
when I was advocating for schools but out of office."

Monday, Hales said that the confusion arose from the fact that he "voted again and again" as a city commissioner to help schools. (His campaign shared a list of votes from the late 1990s and early 2000s showing his support for one-time grants to schools and City Council decisions to help schools save money.) He also fired back, saying his record as an education advocate is longer than his opponents'. "I stand behind my record as the candidate who has done the most for schools," he said.
